4790k idling at 60c and CPU throttling in AIDA when XMP set (2400c11)

Another update! Success at last of a sort.

Stripped it all again and remounted the stock cooler.

Idling at 29c again and ARMA 3 took it to 63c.

Hopefully it can take the XMP again now.

Just need to get this H60 working now,
 
Yeah I did finger tight last night with no success.

Part of me is tempted to leave it but I can play arma 3 on low on the hd4600 when the ram's overclocked so I'd like it sorted for tonight as I'm not getting my gpu until next week.

I'm going to hold down the h60 by hand next time to see what sort of temps that gives me then compare to when it's screwed down.
 
Right I'm in a much better place now.

With memory at 1333 I'm idling as low as 22c and AIDA FPU is hovering around 60c after 20 mins. One core went near 70 for a bit but this is obviously miles better.

I do need to do a lot more digging though as here is what initially happened after fitting the h60:

Went to windows and saw idles of 40ish and then realised the XMP was on.

Went to bios then turned XMP off and temps spiralled out of control quickly.

Reset cmos, went to bios and temps were immediately 54 and rising.

Loaded optimised defaults and that's where I am at now...60c ish in AIDA FPU.

Baffling me a bit to be honest.
 
I've started another thread now because all our talk seems like I've wasted your time

I now have a system that can only be cooled by being slept and awoken from within windows.
